Judy (1360—1424), the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The fourth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was born in Yingtian (now Nanjing, Jiangsu).
In the third year of Hongwu (1370), Judy was made the prince. I used to live in Fengyang and I know people's feelings very well. In the 13th year of Hongwu (1380), he was sent to Beiping. He was ordered to participate in military activities in the north many times and led his division to the north twice, which strengthened his influence in the northern army. In Zhu Yuanzhang's later years, Prince Zhu Biao, King Zhu Shang of Qin and King Zhu of Jin died successively. Judy became the first of all kings not only in military strength, but also in family order. After the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, Ming Huizong, who succeeded to the throne, reduced the number of vassals in Zhu Yunwen. Judy launched the Jingnan War in July of the first year of Wenjian (1399), which lasted for four years (1402). Change to Yongle the following year.
At the beginning of Judy's accession to the throne, she made some adjustments to the policies of Hongwu and Wen Jian dynasties, and put forward the principle that "leniency and moderation are the way to govern the country". He used the imperial examination system and compiling books to win over landlords and intellectuals, publicized Confucianism to change the trend of loving Buddhism in the early Ming Dynasty, and chose officials and talents, which laid an ideological and organizational foundation for the political, economic, military and cultural development at that time.
During Judy's reign, he further strengthened the absolute monarchy. He rebelled against the minister, massacred cruelly, and implicated himself wantonly. At the beginning of Yongle, the kings of Zhou, Qi, Dai and Min all had old titles, but after the throne was consolidated, they continued to cut their vassals. Cut the king's guards and officials, and soon waste them as Shu Ren; Ning Wang moved the capital to Nanchang; The king of migration valley was in Changsha, and it was abolished as Shu Ren; Cut the guards of Zhou, Min, Dai and Liao kings. He also continued to implement Zhu Yuanzhang's immigration policy to enrich the people, so as to strengthen the control of the big landlords. At the beginning of Yongle, the cabinet was set up, and junior bureaucrats were selected to participate in the maintenance, which solved the vacancy of administrative institutions after the abolition of Hanshu.
Judy attached great importance to the role of supervisory agencies, established a system of sending inspectors to visit the world, and encouraged officials to tell each other. He used eunuchs to preach, set up special conscription, military supervision, and set up a yamen to guard the internal minister and the East Factory, and restored the abandoned Royal Guards during the Hongwu period. The factory guards joined hands to develop and strengthen the autocratic rule.
Judy attaches great importance to the management of the north. At the beginning of Yongle, Beiping was changed to Beijing, with six departments, additional health centers around Beijing, and a new political and military center in the north was gradually established. In seven years, a slave division was established in Jurchen area. At the same time, strive to establish friendly relations with Mongolians. The Tatar Department and the Vala Department successively accepted the titles of the Ming government. From eight to twenty-two years, Judy personally led troops to the north five times, which consolidated the northern border defense. In seven years, Beijing Tianshou Mountain Changling started construction to show the determination of the Northern Expedition. /kloc-in 0/4, the construction of Beijing Palace in the Forbidden City started (it was later destroyed in Li Zicheng and rebuilt in the early Qing Dynasty). In the 19th year of Yongle (142 1), the capital was officially moved to Beijing. In order to meet the needs of Beijing grain and various materials, Judy dredged the Huitong River in nine years, dug the Jiangpu River in thirteen years, and reopened the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which played an important role in the economic and cultural exchanges and development between North and South. On this basis, the rule over other frontier areas has also developed. Eleven years after Sinan and Sizhou Tusi rebellion was put down, Guizhou Foreign Ministry was established. In order to strengthen the control of Tibetan areas (now Tibet), Judy sent officials to welcome monks to Beijing and awarded them the title of emperor. He also set up Hami Wei in four years and sent many officials to the Western Regions, such as Chen Cheng, the official seal inspector, and Li Da, the middle official. Later, the Timur Empire, Turpan, Borasi, Andu Army, Huozhou and other places in the western regions also exchanged envoys with the Ming Dynasty many times, which strengthened political, garrison and trade exchanges and further developed and consolidated the situation of national reunification.
Judy attaches great importance to the recovery and development of social economy, and thinks that "there are more families than people" and "people live a well-off life" are the basis of world peace. He worked hard to develop and improve the military reclamation system and the rules formulated by salt merchants in China to ensure the supply of military food and border wages. Xia Yuanji was sent to control Jiangnan and dredge Wusong.
All parts of the Central Plains encourage reclamation, promote production by resettling more villages and supervising people to farm, and take measures such as relief to prevent farmers from going bankrupt and ensure tax collection. Through these measures, Yongle was endowed with surplus and envy, reaching the peak of the next generation. In the situation of political stability and economic prosperity, Judy also paid more attention to the collation of ancient books, and organized a large number of manpower to edit the Yongle Grand Ceremony, the scale of which was the largest among ancient books in China.
In order to carry out foreign exchanges and expand the influence of the Ming Dynasty, from the third year of Yongle, Judy sent Zheng He, the eunuch of the Three Treasures, to lead a fleet of seven voyages to the Western Ocean, which lasted more than 30 countries and became a major event in the early Ming Dynasty (see Zheng He's voyages to the Western Ocean). During the Yongle period, more than 30 countries sent envoys to North Korea. King Tanni and King Suludong personally led their envoys to China, died unfortunately and were buried in Nanjing and Dezhou respectively. In four years, Judy sent troops to conquer Annan. The following year, Annan was a member of the family and set up a diplomatic department in his position.
During the Yongle period, the class contradictions in the whole country were relatively relaxed. However, due to excessive state expenditure and heavy taxes, peasants went into exile and revolted in some areas, of which the Tang Saier Uprising in the 18th year was the largest one.
In twenty-two years, Judy died in Yumuchuan (now Muqin Banner, Wuzhu, Inner Mongolia) on her way back to the Northern Expedition. This was Judy's fifth time to send troops to the desert. Before going to war, Xia Yuanji, Minister of Finance, advised him not to go to war, but he didn't listen. Buried in Changling, the name of the temple was Taizong, which was changed to Zu in Jiajing.
